Re: [rt.cpan.org #57852] install PAR::Packer failed for strawberry perl 5.12.0.1

2010-06-09 Thread Steffen Mueller

Hi all,

I'm taking this reply off the bug tracker since this isn't related to 
the bug.


Ulli Horlacher via RT wrote:

I thought RT-replies are always from the maintainers?


There is only a very fine line between a maintainer and a user when it 
comes to PAR. And this is coming from both a maintainer AND a user :)


I'm more than half-serious. Roderich has been doing an incredible job at 
helping people, fixing bugs, and generally keeping the ball rolling for 
quite a while now. Some time back, I was doing a lot of that. Maybe in a 
half year, it'll be you or somebody else entirely?


The reason I'm putting it this way is because there's no explicit nor 
implied responsibility of maintaining the software. That's why the term 
maintainer, though not entirely wrong, may be misleading. Anybody fixing 
bugs is making a donation of his time.


The difference between the mailing list and the bug tracker is that in 
the latter, issues should be kept fairly separated. Otherwise it becomes 
extremely annoying to try and find out what the actual issue was and how 
it could be fixed.


I'm not saying the following is the case here, but let me add that in 
general,  bug reports which are really help requests from users can 
become fairly problematic from a maintainer point of view. That's what 
the mailing list is for.


Best regards,
Steffen

The original bug IS fixed. What you see is a different issue with the build 
process.
But I already told you this, feel free to open a new bug (but I know about the 
issue,
but don't have time to investigate right now).
If you don't know what to do after dmake, RTFM on Howto install stuff from 
CPAN.  

Cheers, Roderich

 Folks, a bug tracker is NOT a discussion forum.

 The bug is NOT resolved. It is still there with PAR::Packer 1.005 and
 strawberry perl 5.12
 
 
 How did you run dmake twice?

 You're confused: this output indicates you're using ActiveState perl, not

I'm sorry, i'm quite new to using a bug tracker, or usenet or even perl and to 
programming in general. It looked liked the same issue i was having and so I 
replied to it.

I don't think if I replied to the group Ulli would receive this message but I'm 
not sure so: This is the sequece of commands I entered:
==
cpan upgrade PAR::Packer # from the cpan shell, since installation failed
cpan look PAR::Packer
dmake
dmake test #all test successful
dmake install # install successful
==

As already mentioned I use Strawberryperl so dmake is what I use.

 As already mentioned I use Strawberryperl so dmake is what I use.

Yes, the build problem seems specific for dmake - CPAN test results show that 
*nix platforms are OK. It will be a few days until I will have time to dig 
further.

Cheers, Roderich
